Another simple but delicious arugula salad inspired by Rebecca Hays of Cook's Illustrated. Her strategy is to highlight spicy arugula with the complementary elements - a fruit, a nut, and a cheese - along with a slightly sweet dressing as a counterpart to the greens.
Ingredients
- 5 tsps pear or apple sauce
- 2 tbsps lemon juice
- 3 tbsps extra light olive oil
- 1 small shallot, very finely chopped
- 8 cups fresh arugula
- 1 whole pear, quartered and cored
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans
- 1/8 cup Parmesan cheese curls (may substitute goat cheese)
Directions
Mix dressing ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously.
Lightly dress arugula and then sprinkle with nuts, fruit, and cheese.
